Produces more cells during growth or repair
Is a means for reproduction
Takes place in prokaryotes
Involves pairing and crossing over between homologous chromosomes
Involves evenly separating homologous chromosomes
Involves evenly separating sister chromatids
Results in production of gametes
Produces daughter cells that are identical to the parent cell
Produces daughter cells that are different from parent cell
